The “the biggest night in music” hits Las Vegas, as Olivia Rodrigo claims best new artist

The start-studded arena is dazzling Las Vegas as the 64th annual Grammys get underway, after suffering delays due to COVID-19.

The event was originally scheduled to take place on January 31 in Los Angeles but was postponed as the Omicron variant spread in the US.

The Daily Show presenter Trevor Noah will host the show, featuring an array of live performances and surprise guests.

There are 70 categories in total, with everyone from Lady Gaga to Barack Obama on the nominations list.

Competition is tough so The Recording Academy has made several major changes to the awards process, including the removal of controversial review committees.

Almost 22,000 songs and albums were submitted for consideration this year, resulting in shortlists for the main categories being expanded from eight to 10 nominees for the first time.

One to watch is Disney actress turned pop sensation Olivia Rodrigo, she is nominated in all of the top four categories – and she has a decent shot at a clean sweep.

If Rodrigo takes home all four prizes, she’ll be only the third artist in history to do it, after Christopher Cross and Billie Eilish.

Maybe Abba will have a comeback and prove that the winner takes it all?

A brisk 50 years after their debut single, Abba have picked up their first Grammy nomination – record of the year – for their single I Still Have Faith In You.
